VIDEO: KANYE WEST ft. CHRIS MARTIN – “HOMECOMING”

Kanye West’s new video for the song Homecoming (featuring Coldplay’s Chris Martin) was leaked yesterday. Homecoming pays homage to his hometown Chicago and it was directed by Hype Williams and Morocco Vaughn.

I love the simple black and white composition and I see you Common! Make sure you peep it.

  8. Nothing But Love

    I like it its different.

    Team Kanye!!!!

  9. Flygirl

    I like the creativity in this video as opposed to the last one Kanye released. That seems like some stuff I can do in Adobe.

  10. go

    Kanye always comes with the fly videos. Never cliche. Loves it!

  11. Mr. City Knights Inc

    Great video. Ye is making the classic after classic videos.

  12. Ashley K.

    Awww good job Kanye!

  13. Get'em

    Love the song the whole album is hard.

  14. Reccy

    LOVE IT!!!!! MY FAVORITE SONG OFF OF THE ALBUM! I WONDER WHO IS THE DIRECTOR?

  15. SUPERCENT

    Love the song. Love the video. Love Chi-town.

  16. wire addict

    This is my favorite song on the Graduation album, also. But the video is aiight—the song is about Chicago, so why not show more of the people and places of Chicago, instead of Kanye. The camera is on Kanye’s face in 95% of the video. A video more like “Through the Wire” would have been better for the song.

  17. Deena

    I like the one with John Legend better then this one. He was rapping the same words though it just seemed more powerful to me. But oh well this one is cool too.

  18. SweetThang729

    Can’t see the video but I’m mad the video for “Flashing Lights” wasn’t as big as the song…That’s my fav joint on the album…maybe he shot it at the wrong time shortly after his mom’s death b/c the video is very dark and the song itself has alot of life to it so that was a huge disappointment for me…

  19. SweetThang729

    And why not “I Wonder”

  20. RIHANNASDOOKIE

    I LIKE THE VERSION WITH JOHN LEGEND BETTER AS WELL.
    BUT THE VIDEO IS HOT!

  21. vexxed

    I love this track. Much more thoughtful than a lot of stuff he’s done.

  22. a.k.a. new yorker

    i prefer this one over the john legend version by far. i think chris martin is just too freaking talented (i’m a huge huge coldplay fan). he may not have a great voice like legend but the man can write lyrics. and the beat for “homecoming” is sick. it reminds me of a cat stevens song from the 70s or something

  23. krc3x

    @ 21…

    I love The version with John Legend too. It is one of my favorite songs ever. It has that New Orleans feel to it. I wish he would have gone with that one.

  24. brittneyfromtoronto

    i love it!!!!

    so simple.

  25. brittneyfromtoronto

    kanye plz make a video for I WONDER!!! PLZ PLZ PLZ

  26. *KMS*

    It’s cool I dig it.

  27. JSCENE

    Love it! I love this man; too much creativity; his mom is proud.

    Jayz you can go slit your wrists now….Ye killed your album sales this time around, and he won’t stop; it must be embarrasing to keep saying you’re the best but rappers all around you, 50 cent, luda, t.i. is literally killin you, putting you to shame….stop the music, (in my best elmer fudd voice) GAME OVER!

  28. DiannaMarie

    I love the video and Kanye. Plus he’s reppin our city! Chi-City!!!!!!

  29. Greatestloveofall

    Cool, simple video. I always thought Homecoming was one of the tighest tracks off of Graduation. That harpsichord loop sounds real good, and Kanye and Chris Martin have great chemistry on the track.

    I’m tellin ya, Coldplay (or just Chris Martin, for that matter) has that same kinda appeal to R&B/Hip-Hop artists like Phil Collins always had.

  30. taynae

    fab video! i just love chris martin!!!

  31. lilblackfan

    l-o-v-es it!
    chris martin is funny. he was into that beat and piano. but it’s good. can’t wait to go to the chi!
    :D

  32. jasmin

    Fire….Love this video.Common looks amazing, the black and white is sick…

  33. LOVED IT…Kanye knows exactly how much is enough for each record and the ambiance of this video is right on point. I wonder if he’ll consider dropping “Big Brother” as his next single…that would be a good look~

  34. Chi City Reppa

    If you don’t know by now I’m talking bout CHI TOWN! Chi City Bitches! Stand up!

  35. HR DIVA

    This is so Kanye…love the video, and my future husband/stalkee – to – be Common is looking RIGHT!!

    I love visiting Chicago…definitely a place I would not mind moving to.

  36. Ashley a.k.a. Glamour Girl (Ashley post #3...not the same as the other two Ashley's lol)

    I personally think that you’re a fool (WIREADDICT) for saying that he didn’t pay enough homage to Chicago! If you really know Chicago then you would’ve seen the many places and incredible architectual buildings that stands for Chicago. He was at one of the only housing projects that are still standing on the south side of Chicago (it’s like around 20 something and State) so please save it! The video was bannanas!!! Chi-Town!

  37. Dame

    I am still waiting on the complete Flashing Lights Video.

    I don’t like this version of this song.

  38. Steupz

    Wicked video….
    Dude always drops wicked videos.

    I like what they did with Chris Martin, it’s reminiscent of an old Sting video, ‘Fields of Gold’ was the name I think.

  39. STLCHICK

    This shit right here nigga, this shit right here…is FYRE! This video is off the rip! Get it Kanye. “Reach for the stars so if you fall you’ll land on a cloud…” Dope ass line! I love the simplicity and Common is so sexy! I see you Chris Martin. Dude was killing that dance wasn’t he? Over all I love it. Good shit Kanye.

  40. STLCHICK

    @ 15 Hype Williams and Morroco Vaughn directed. @ 21. I like that version better too but after seeing this vid I’m finally feelin this version.

  41. im so chi im bashful

    Chi-town stand up!!!!!! Love it!!

  42. Love Kanye!! Love Chris Martin! Common i see u my dude!! This was a good look all the way through!! Lovely vid, just lovely.

  43. hood_shit

    NOT HOT! Seems forced to me.

  44. UM...I GUESS

    wow…niiiiiiice
    a definite step up from flashing lights…

  45. TRAILBLAZER

    Common looks goooooood.

    Damn he came a long way from those crochet hats

    He was still cute though. But now he’s grown man cute and sexy

    Oh and the video was nice too. LOL

    Did i mention that Common could get it on the first date without my usual 2 glasses of Chardonnay. Just straight sober, he could get it.

  46. yeah i like the one wit legend too.

  47. Truth

    Like it…. love Common…. lol @ 49 me first! lol.

  48. Steupz

    STL Chick, he gets no shine for that line.
    That’s some old Casey Kasem ish he adapted.

  49. STLCHICK

    @ 52. Thanks for lettin me know. The video is still hot though lol.

  50. amber

    i really like this video and this song is one of my favorites. its definately a step up from that flashing lights mess of a music video.

  51. YYesIt'sMe

    It’s funny I keep hearing everyone likes the version with John Legend better but the version in the video is the song that is actually on the album. I personally like the Chris Martin version better but too each his own. Kanye has collaborated with two of my favorite artist, Adam Levine from Maroon 5 & Chris Martin. This video is perfect, wouldn’t change a thing. I like artist who take chances with their work. I takes a lot to create something and put it out for the world to respond to.

  52. Sharonda

    Its alright, but Common, whoooooooo!

  53. Another Day In Paradise

    Kanye is great!!!… He makes good music that has meaning to it and he worked with Chris Martin which was a great move!!!!

  54. Dont Argue With Me It's Just An Opinion

    I really like this song.

  55. Miss. Tiandez Jones

    AHHH i love it i love i love it! Ive always loved Kanye’s artistic vision with everything he does from his music, music videos, and how he dresses. Hes so fresh! I’m really feeling the video though, I can’t wait for the glow in the dark tour to hit Toronto!

    signed and sealed,
    Kanye’s biggest fan!

  56. G.O.A.T.

    JSCENE and any other HOV HATER:

    You have no clue. Jay GHOSTWRITES for Kanye dummy. Kanye himself has said he could never live up to Jay’s ability and is still chasing him. EVERY ARTIST YOU NAMED DOESN’T HAVE HOV’S RECORD OR RESPECT. You must be new to the game because even 50 will tell you if it weren’t for Jay he wouldn’t be on. JAY DISSED HIM AND GOT HIM THE ATTENTION HE NEEDED which is why most artists come after Jay because no one pays attention until you say JAY’S name in rap.

    EVERY RAPPER IS CHASING HOV – HIS LYRICS ARE UNTOUCHABLE and THAT’S WHY HE’S STILL THE G.O.A.T. of the rap game.

    You sound stupid – check your facts and then you need to retire!
